You cant, and theres no reason to want to, periods are as good or as bad as you make them so if your periods are difficult it’s time you did something about them. You can induce periods, which means to bring them on early or bring them on if they’re late, theoretically the methods used for inducing your periods may help shorten your period once you have it. You can combine different progesterone blocking, uterine contracting and oestrogenic herbs, or try different methods such as having sex or masturbating, this helps as during orgasm a hormone called oxytocin is released which causes uterus contractions, relaxation and increased blood flow from arousal also helps, as too does semen which softens the cervix. Hot baths and massaging the lower abdomen also helps as they promote circulation. You can also use extraction, this is a menstrual option that was popular with feminists in the 1970’s, and it’s essentially the same thing that is used today in abortions, only it’s used to get rid of periods instead. The uterus lining that would normally shed is basically sucked out, without the uterus lining there to shed there is no period – it won’t speed your period up, it’ll get rid of it all together for that month, then you’ll get your period as normal next month. It’s hard to find practitioners willing to do this these days.

I’m going onto this adventure trip for the weekend with my school and I’m on my period! We’re going to do things like kayaking and abseiling and I don’t want to miss it. Is there anyway to make the blood come down faster? Anything that is doable at home and doesn’t take longer than a day. Thanks so much for your help!
